Popover

Displays rich content in a portal, triggered by a button.

import React from "react";
import * as Popover from "@radix-ui/react-popover";
import { MixerHorizontalIcon, Cross2Icon } from "@radix-ui/react-icons";
import "./styles.css";
const PopoverDemo = () => (
<Popover.Root>
<Popover.Trigger asChild>
<button className="IconButton" aria-label="Update dimensions">
<MixerHorizontalIcon />
</button>
</Popover.Trigger>
<Popover.Portal>
<Popover.Content className="PopoverContent" sideOffset={5}>
<div style={{ display: "flex", flexDirection: "column", gap: 10 }}>

Features

    Can be controlled or uncontrolled.

    Customize side, alignment, offsets, collision handling.

    Optionally render a pointing arrow.

    Focus is fully managed and customizable.

    Supports modal and non-modal modes.

    Dismissing and layering behavior is highly customizable.

Installation

Install the component from your command line.

npm install @radix-ui/react-popover

Anatomy

--radix-popover-trigger-widthThe width of the trigger
--radix-popover-trigger-heightThe height of the trigger

Arrow

An optional arrow element to render alongside the popover. This can be used to help visually link the anchor with the Popover.Content. Must be rendered inside Popover.Content.

Examples

Constrain the content size

You may want to constrain the width of the content so that it matches the trigger width. You may also want to constrain its height to not exceed the viewport.

We expose several CSS custom properties such as --radix-popover-trigger-width and --radix-popover-content-available-height to support this. Use them to constrain the content dimensions.

// index.jsx
import * as Popover from "@radix-ui/react-popover";
import "./styles.css";
export default () => (
<Popover.Root>
<Popover.Trigger></Popover.Trigger>
<Popover.Portal>
<Popover.Content className="PopoverContent" sideOffset={5}>
</Popover.Content>
</Popover.Portal>
</Popover.Root>
);
/* styles.css */
.PopoverContent {
width: var(--radix-popover-trigger-width);
max-height: var(--radix-popover-content-available-height);
}

Origin-aware animations

We expose a CSS custom property --radix-popover-content-transform-origin. Use it to animate the content from its computed origin based on side, sideOffset, align, alignOffset and any collisions.

// index.jsx
import * as Popover from "@radix-ui/react-popover";
import "./styles.css";
export default () => (
<Popover.Root>
<Popover.Trigger></Popover.Trigger>
<Popover.Portal>
<Popover.Content className="PopoverContent"></Popover.Content>
</Popover.Portal>
</Popover.Root>
);
/* styles.css */
.PopoverContent {
transform-origin: var(--radix-popover-content-transform-origin);
animation: scaleIn 0.5s ease-out;
}
@keyframes scaleIn {
from {
opacity: 0;
transform: scale(0);
}
to {
opacity: 1;
transform: scale(1);
}
}

Collision-aware animations

We expose data-side and data-align attributes. Their values will change at runtime to reflect collisions. Use them to create collision and direction-aware animations.

// index.jsx
import * as Popover from "@radix-ui/react-popover";
import "./styles.css";
export default () => (
<Popover.Root>
<Popover.Trigger></Popover.Trigger>
<Popover.Portal>
<Popover.Content className="PopoverContent"></Popover.Content>
</Popover.Portal>
</Popover.Root>
);
/* styles.css */
.PopoverContent {
animation-duration: 0.6s;
animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
}
.PopoverContent[data-side="top"] {
animation-name: slideUp;
}
.PopoverContent[data-side="bottom"] {
animation-name: slideDown;
}
@keyframes slideDown {
from {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(-10px);
}
to {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0);
}
}
@keyframes slideUp {
from {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(10px);
}
to {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0);
}
}

With custom anchor

You can anchor the content to another element if you do not want to use the trigger as the anchor.

// index.jsx
import * as Popover from "@radix-ui/react-popover";
import "./styles.css";
export default () => (
<Popover.Root>
<Popover.Anchor asChild>
<div className="Row">
Row as anchor <Popover.Trigger>Trigger</Popover.Trigger>
</div>
</Popover.Anchor>
<Popover.Portal>
<Popover.Content></Popover.Content>
</Popover.Portal>
</Popover.Root>
);
/* styles.css */
.Row {
background-color: gainsboro;
padding: 20px;
}

Accessibility

Adheres to the Dialog WAI-ARIA design pattern.

Keyboard Interactions

KeyDescription
Space
Opens/closes the popover.
Enter
Opens/closes the popover.
Tab
Moves focus to the next focusable element
Shift + Tab
Moves focus to the previous focusable element
Esc
Closes the popover and moves focus to Popover.Trigger.

Custom APIs

Create your own API by abstracting the primitive parts into your own component.

Abstract the arrow and set default configuration

This example abstracts the Popover.Arrow part and sets a default sideOffset configuration.

Usage

import { Popover, PopoverTrigger, PopoverContent } from "./your-popover";
export default () => (
<Popover>
<PopoverTrigger>Popover trigger</PopoverTrigger>
<PopoverContent>Popover content</PopoverContent>
</Popover>
);

Implementation

// your-popover.jsx
import React from "react";
import * as PopoverPrimitive from "@radix-ui/react-popover";
export const Popover = PopoverPrimitive.Root;
export const PopoverTrigger = PopoverPrimitive.Trigger;
export const PopoverContent = React.forwardRef(
({ children, ...props }, forwardedRef) => (
<PopoverPrimitive.Portal>
<PopoverPrimitive.Content sideOffset={5} {...props} ref={forwardedRef}>
{children}
<PopoverPrimitive.Arrow />
</PopoverPrimitive.Content>
</PopoverPrimitive.Portal>
),
);
